Image file storage locations

Bar code recognition

This section provides general recommendations regarding the impact of image file storage locations on the overall throughput of the scanner.

Depending upon your application, you can receive up to four image files per document. Decisions about where to write these files when retrieving them could impact the overall throughput of the scanner. In order to prevent overwriting data the scanner stops feeding paper when the internal image buffer is almost full. Scanning will not resume until enough images are retrieved by the host to clear sufficient buffer memory. In order to minimize the number of times this condition might occur, it is recommended that image files are written to a local hard drive to avoid the potential overhead of transferring files across the network to remote drives during scanning.

Unlike some Kodak scanners the i100 Series Scanners do not include a bar code accessory. Bar code functionality is the responsibility of the host system. The main imaging parameter, which may affect bar code read rates, is resolution. Either bi-tonal, grayscale or color images may be used for bar code applications. Refer to your software documentation for their recommendations and/or requirements for image file quality to achieve desired read rates.

Electronic color dropout

The i100 Series Scanners provide the ability to create dropout images without changing lamps. The application has the ability to select red, green and blue dropout functionality. Only one color can be dropped out at a time. This dropout performance is equivalent to color dropout functionality when using the traditional color lamp technique.

Electronic color dropout is used with OCR and ICR applications. See your vendor’s documentation for recommendations on image quality characteristics.

Electronic color dropout is applied to the bi-tonal image chain only.

i100 Series specifications

The Kodak i100 Series is a renowned line of document scanners designed to meet the needs of various business environments through advanced imaging technologies, compact design, and efficient performance. This series is particularly popular among businesses that require high-volume scanning capabilities while ensuring optimal image quality and reliability.

One of the standout features of the Kodak i100 Series is its ability to scan at impressive speeds, capable of handling up to 100 images per minute. This efficiency allows organizations to enhance their productivity, particularly in environments where large volumes of documents need to be digitized quickly. The series supports a variety of paper types and sizes, allowing for versatility in scanning operations.

Another key aspect of the i100 Series is its advanced image processing capabilities. The scanners employ Kodak's Perfect Page Technology, which automatically adjusts image quality in real-time, ensuring that every scanned document is clear and legible. The technology compensates for poor-quality originals, enhances contrast, and ensures accurate color reproduction. This feature is especially valuable for businesses that work with documents of varying quality.

The i100 Series also supports duplex scanning, which enables users to capture both sides of a document in a single pass. This not only saves time but also eliminates the need for manual intervention, thereby reducing the risk of paper jams and increasing workflow efficiency. Additionally, the series is equipped with ultrasonic double-feed detection, ensuring that no pages are missed during scanning.

User-friendliness is a hallmark of the Kodak i100 Series. The scanners are designed with a straightforward interface, allowing users of all skill levels to operate them with ease. Furthermore, the i100 Series connects seamlessly to various document management systems, making it easy to integrate into existing workflows.

The build quality of the i100 Series is robust yet compact, making it suitable for small office spaces without sacrificing performance. The scanners are lightweight and portable, which means they can be easily relocated as business needs change.

In conclusion, the Kodak i100 Series document scanners combine speed, image quality, and user-friendly features, making them an excellent choice for businesses looking to streamline their document management processes. With advanced technologies like Perfect Page and duplex scanning, coupled with a compact design, the i100 Series effectively meets the demands of modern business environments. Whether for high-volume scanning or for handling varied document types, the Kodak i100 Series stands out as a reliable solution in the world of document scanning.
